Revival, Racism, & Rapture: A Fireside Reflection on Culture and Times

Pastor Joseph Girdler takes you inside detailed eye witness accounts of revival themes including the Second Great Awakening at Cane Ridge, KY, the 1970 revival impact of Asbury College, Wilmore, KY, and more. As one of the first denominational superintendents in America to publish a statement during the 2020 political and racial turbulence, Girdler candidly addresses systemic racism re-defined through national unrest.

The Covid-19 global pandemic is further considered, and detailed endnotes and bibliographic information is usefully offered. As in his preceding books, fascinating, characteristic personal history and storylines are interweaved throughout Revival, Racism, & Rapture.

Don't miss this extraordinary read.
